As reported by Luis Miguelsanz in SPORT, it has emerged that Barcelona are actively working to extend the contract of their star midfielder, Pedri, and ensure that his new contract is registered as soon as possible.
Despite the challenges posed by the club’s financial situation, which is currently unable to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor due to the sale of VIP boxes not generating enough income, Barcelona has managed to comply with salary cap regulations.
This has allowed the club to operate again in the transfer market and they are now focused on securing Pedri’s future at the club.
Pedri’s renewal is a priority
President Joan Laporta sees Pedri’s renewal as a priority and wants to close the agreement soon, with the aim of securing the midfielder’s services until 2030.
Talks on extending the contract are progressing well and both parties are close to reaching an agreement. The announcement of this renewal is expected to come in January, now that Deco, the club’s sporting director, has returned from his vacation.
Pedri has become an essential player for Barcelona since overcoming his injury problems. He is now a regular starter in midfield, vastly outperforming other players in his position.
His importance to the team cannot be underestimated and the club views him as a key figure in their long-term plans. With his current contract running until 2026, Barcelona are keen to renew it and ensure his future is secure.
Resolving priority
Before finalizing the renewal of Pedri, Barcelona will seek to solve the situations of Olmo and Víctor. His future at the club needs to be resolved to maintain harmony in the team and ensure there is clarity within the dressing room.
Decisions on these players are expected to be made soon and once their future is resolved, Barcelona will focus all their attention on securing Pedri’s contract extension.
Pedri has always shown his commitment to the club and his desire to stay at Barcelona remains unchanged.
His contract extension until 2030 will soon become a reality, avoiding any uncertainty over his future and reinforcing his importance to the club going forward.
